"A clever page-turner that I couldn't put down."-Natasha Preston,
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author? Two girls fake their deaths
only to face mortal danger in this YA thriller perfect for fans of
The Twin and None Shall Sleep. In one week, Maude will be dead. At
least, that's what she wants everyone to think. After years of
research, Maude has decided to fake her own death. She's figured
out the how, the when, the where, and who will help her
unsuspectingly. The why is complex: revenge, partly. Her terrible
parents deserve this. But there's also 'l'appel du vide,' the call
of the void, that beckons her toward a new life where she will be
tied to no one, free and adrift. Then Frankie, a stepcousin she
barely knows, figures out what she's plotting, and the plan seems
like it's ruined. Except Frankie doesn't want to rat her out.
Frankie wants in. The girls vault into the unknown, risking
everything for a new and limitless life. But there are some things
you can never run away from. What if the poison is not in the soil,
but in the roots? This pulse-pounding thriller offers a nuanced
exploration of identity, freedom, and falling in love while your
world falls apart.
"Thriller fans, especially those who love One of Us Is Lying, will
devour this page-turner."-Buzzfeed No one at Hollywood High knows
who's behind We'll Never Tell-a viral YouTube channel where the
anonymous creators trespass behind the scenes of LA's most
intriguing locales. The team includes CASEY, quiet researcher and
trivia champ; JACOB, voice narrator and video editor, who is
secretly dating EDDIE, aspiring filmmaker; and ZOE, coder and
breaking-and-entering extraordinaire. Now senior year is winding
down, and with their lives heading in different directions, the
YouTubers vow to go out with a bang. Their last episode will be
filmed at the infamous Valentini "murder house," which has been
left abandoned, bloodstained, and untouched since a shocking
murder/suicide in 1972. When the teens break in, they capture epic
footage. But someone trips an alarm, and it's a mad dash to get out
before the police arrive-at which point they realize only three of
them escaped instead of four. Jacob is still inside, slain and
bleeding out. Is his attack connected to the historic murder, or is
one of their crew responsible? A week of suspicions and cover-ups
unfolds as Casey and her remaining friends try to stay alive long
enough to solve murder mysteries past and present. If they do,
their friendship may not survive. If they don't, the house will
claim more victims.
